    When your not a truck driver you really are oblivious to trucks on the road except for driving safe around them. Now that i want to drive a truck i'm looking at almost every truck on the road and the ones parked at walmarts etc. Watching how they turn, how they back up, what company they work for all that stuff. Even sitting at the light next to a truck i'm doing an inspection on the truck lol I'm just hyped up can't wait to get started.

    Wait till you've been hauling for a bit, and get in your pickup to go to town.

    When you're slowing down to turn into the grocery store and reach for the splitter . . .

    The worst is when you've gotten home after a few weeks out, cellphone rings and you answer with, "I ain't got no panties on."

    T2000's - but yeah, caught myself actually waving at one the other day, and wondering if he'd notice my fancy LED headlights.

    Oddly enough, I see very few of the same color pickup truck - it's an '08, they must have dropped the color after that year. I STILL get comments on it - "Thought it was a new one/love the color" image.jpeg
